Support for U.S. High Energy Physicists to Attend 45th Rencontres de Moriond Conferences, La Thuile, Italy

这项资助为年轻物理学家参加将在意大利拉图伊勒举行的第45届Rencontres de Moriond会议提供部分支持：(1)电弱相互作用和统一理论（2010年3月6-13日）和(2)QCD和高能强子相互作用（2010年3月13-20日）。2010年的Moriond会议是过渡性的，因为大型强子对撞机的物理准备和探测器的调试将越来越重要，美国科学家在这方面发挥了主要作用。由于这两个实验都处于完全调试模式，第一个大型强子对撞机的光束数据和大量的宇宙数据都是由地下实验大厅里的完全运行的探测器收集的，人们预计在2010年莫里蒙德会议上，大型强子对撞机的演讲将会增加。因此，2010年Moriond仍然是一个独特而绝佳的机会，既可以宣传令人印象深刻的美国粒子物理学科学计划，同时也可以通过允许我们最有才华的年轻科学家在这两个主要的欧洲论坛上发表他们的最新成果，从而为他们提供额外的知名度。将作出特别努力，鼓励妇女和少数民族参与。

This grant provides partial support for young physicists to attend either of the two sequential 45th Rencontres de Moriond conferences to be held in La Thuile, Italy: (1) Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories (March 6-13, 2010) and (2) QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions (March 13-20, 2010). Moriond meetings in 2010 are transitional since increasing importance will be placed on the preparation for the LHC physics and commissioning of the detectors, in which the U.S. scientists play a major role. With both experiments being in the full commissioning mode with the first LHC beam data and vast amount of cosmics collected with the fully operational detectors in their underground experimental halls, one expects an increased number of LHC talks at the 2010 Moriond conference. Consequently, the 2010 Moriond remains a unique and excellent opportunity to both advertise the impressive US science program in particle physics and at the same time to give our most talented young scientists extra visibility by allowing them to deliver their latest results at these two major European fora. Special efforts will be made to encourage women and minorities to participate.
